Episode 194: Risk Reporting and Communication (Domain 5)

Risk is meaningless if it isn’t communicated effectively—and in this episode, we focus on how risk reporting bridges the gap between technical findings and business leadership. We explore how to craft reports that align with the audience: dashboards and trend lines for executives, technical remediation plans for IT, and regulatory compliance summaries for auditors. Effective risk communication translates complex concepts into business-relevant impact, using clear visuals, prioritized lists, and defined action steps. We also cover risk heat maps, scoring tables, and narrative explanations that bring clarity to decision-makers who may not have security backgrounds. Regular reporting builds credibility, supports strategic planning, and ensures that security is seen as a contributor to business success—not just a cost center. Clear communication turns risk data into risk decisions.
